Superior Court-CrIminal Side-Judge
 Pickett.

Pickett.
 The two bunco stesrers, John c. Burton and George Harris, did not appear when their case was called in the Superior court yesterday morning and their bail was de- clared forfeited. Their bondsmen were Frank Bennett and Henry E. Smith. There were four charges on which Harris was con victed, while Burton was found guilty of five. Both appealed from the City court sentences, which were very severe, Harris being fixed at $4 900 and Burton's at $6,5OO After lying in jail awhile Harris was released on bonds furnished by Frank Bennett, ot Bridgeport, and Burton followed afterwards on bonds furnished by Henry E. Smith, the Broadway grocer. They both left the city and no one expected them to return for trial: It was generally understood that friends of the accused furnished good security to the bondsmen and paid them liberal bonus for their good services. With the calling of ths bonds yesterday morning these cases, which excited unusual interest at the time of trial, passed entirely out of view.
